This was a list I found in the OC Register. Since I already know you can't access the article without subscribing I decided to copy/paste it. There are a bunch I didn't know about here:

How current is that list? I thought House of Cactus was no longer open in Stanton. Did someone reopen it? Thanks, Harold

Hi Harold,

I found it in the Register for Nov 12, the day I copied them. Who knows if they're all current or if they just used a list from a couple of years ago to fill in space in their gardening column? But I did notice that House of Cactus says to call. Maybe they just shut down their retail space and are operating out of home? I'd call that number if I were you.

Hey, I work at Village Nursery in Orange on Tustin Avenue. I don't believe we are on your list, but are definitely open. We are also a grower and have lots of plants/trees in cultivation as well as a large nursery. Come on down!

Psssst.....with the new "local resources" feature here: http://davesgarden.com/local/ you can add these must-sees, and - most important - your own reviews of each.
